  • Not struggling $$ wise, but do this to save money. What do you think?

    I don't like doing anything for my children that costs money. I never drive them places. They have no money. They're homeschooled. I am not allowing them to get a job, because I will not drive them and I will not give them money to get cab rides. They cannot walk as everything(stores, jobs) is 13+ miles away and that is up to a 4/ 5 hour walk. I will not be buying them driving lessons, I will not be buying them a learners permit or a license as that costs money. I am not struggling money wise, I just do not like buying my kids things so I can save money. I stopped buying them gifts for Christmas and their birthdays at age 11. What do you think?

    Wow, do they have to go outdoors to forage for food too?

      I'm pretty sure a very similar post appeared in several sites, including this one, many months ago.

          No. I coupon and buy most of our food in bulk.

            This is my first time posting this, and my first time on this website.

                I, too, think I remember this being posted a while back. Trolls can be boring.

                  Guys, I am assuming Jonathan is just trying to stir the pot here - so I'm closing the thread.
